MVP Flows Full 2 Bcf/d for First Time Since Starting Last June

On June 14, 2024, the 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) that runs from Wetzel County, WV, to Pittsylvania County, VA, announced the pipeline had, after a decade of planning and building, finally begun to flow Marcellus/Utica molecules (see Confirmed: M-U Gas Now Flowing Through Mountain Valley Pipeline). The effect of the molecules flowing through MVP was profound and immediate, raising prices for M-U gas at the source and lowering the gas price at the destination (see MVP Lowers Gas Prices in Southeast, Raises Prices in Northeast). However, in the first month that the pipeline was online, it only flowed about half of its rated 2 Bcf/d capacity. Since then, other pipelines connecting to and taking gas from MVP have come online, gradually boosting flows on MVP. Here's some exciting new news: Just this week, for the very first time, MVP flowed a full 2 Bcf/d (technically 1.96 Bcf/d) of yummy Marcellus/Utica gas.
